Famous
I'm gonna be famous, I'm gonna make lots of money.
I'm gonna be famous, I'm gonnna swim in milk and honey.
I'm gonna buy the moon, and tell it what to do.
I'm gonna be famous, I'm gonna smoke big ciggars.
I'm gonna be famous, I'm gonna bathe in caviar.
I'm gonna tell every one around that I've got it made.
Fancy cars and movie stars all around me,
I'll be so well off I wont need to sleep.
Now somebody get me some room service!
I'm gonna be famous, I'm gonna fly in a big ol' plane,
I'm gonna be famous, I'm gonna make sure you know my name.
I'm gonna sail around the world, then do it again.
I'm gonna be famous, I'm gonna be in the magazines.
I'm gonna be famous, I'm gonna crown myself king.
I'm gonna build a castle in the sky.
Nobody mess with me I'm a mile high.

Back Porch
Dishes been stackin up all week.
Empty pack of smokes on the bathroom sink.
I'm slackin all my responsibilities.
The car is leakin something green.
I guess fixin stuff just isn't me.
All I have is a dollar and you better bet it will be spent.
I've been sittin here for awhile,
watching the world with my stupid smile.
The biggest grin you've ever seen.
Cause I'm not doin a damn thing.
It would be a shame not to live the American Dream.
All I have is a dollar and you better bet it will be spent, TODAY!
Well, well, well, well...
Who said I gotta work?
Who says I gotta pay my bills?
Who says I can't play all day?
Well, I'm just gonna wait around till this all blows over.
It would be a shame not to live the American Dream.
All I have is a dollar and you better bet it will be spent

Mexico City
Sorry for the things I said, I got drunk and lost my head
runnin my mouth has got me in a bind
Oh, he threw a punch, I lost some teeth
fell flat where the door and the sidewalk meet
runnin my month has got me in a bind
sorry for the things I said, I got drunk and lost my head
talkin tall done got me in a mess, oh yes it did
he cracked my knees I broke some ribs
gave all a cross-eyed man could give
but talkin tall done got me in a mess
and here's how it began...
I saw a girl and she looked pretty
asked her to go down to Mexico City
pulled her in close and went in for a kiss
Oh, but standing right beside her, no it was not her twin sister
it was her husband and DAMN he was BIG!
Oh no!
Sorry for the things I said, I got drunk and lost my head
runnin my mouth has got me in a bind
oh, he slapped my face I kicked his shin
he pulled the beard right out my chin..
well I guess thats what you get for starting a fight that you can't win right?
I saw a girl and she looked pretty
asked her to go down to Mexico City
pulled her in close and went in for a kiss
I looked at her thought she was the one
next thing you know I got two broken thumbs
and a bloody nose drippin down on my new boots!
saw a girl and she looked pretty
asked her to go down to Mexico City
pulled her in close and went in for a kiss
I looked at her thought she was the one
I was just out trying to have me some fun
but talkin tall done got me in a mess.

Family Tree
Outside my window, colours of green.
Birds of a feather, a'singin together.
But you and me, seem to disagree.
Burning the leaves of our family tree.
Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh...
Across the ocean, under the moon.
Wrapped in a blanket, or call it a tomb.
Because you and me, still seem to disagree.
Buring the leaves of our family tree
Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh...

Minnesota
Workin days, nights and weekends, doin the best we can.
Not everybody's worth a million bucks, it's true.
But, we keep livin' on some hope, things will go our way, someday,
we'll get ours
Turn it up, turn it up all the way, so we can sing along
to our favorite songs, we're leavin Minnesota behind us
to take the open road, and find out who we are.
We keep countin on the lottery, to sing us all to sleep,
in our beds of gold. Aint it terrible to know, the only place to feel at home is a million miles away.
Turn it up, turn it up all the way, so we can sing along
to our favorite songs, we're leavin Minnesota behind us
to take the open road, and find out who we are.
where we belong,
where we belong.

That Kingdom
I been too proud now for most of my life, to admit when I've done wrong.
I been down messed around, walkin' in circles thinking,
when do I go home? How do we get home?
Momma always said there's things you'll figure out with time.
But, I'm tired of waiting around to see.
There's a picture hanging on the wall by the fireplace, why won't it come alive for me?
Oh.. Bells will be ringing when we step into That Kingdom
oh well, at least i'm sure about that, but why am I still as confused as the day I met you?
oh well, I guess we'll never know about that
There's been times I fell so hard I felt like breaking the law
then I thought about sitting in a cell at the state penitentiary
just then a voice calls out from across the crystal shores
he says, "son, you better straighten up before I close that door"
Oh.. Bells will be ringing when we step into That Kingdom
oh well, at least i'm sure about that, but why am I still as confused as the day I met you?
oh well, I guess we'll never know about that
I been too proud now for most of my life, to admit when I've done wrong.
I been down messed around, walkin' in circles thinking,
when do I go home? How do we get home, oh no...
When Do I go home?
